Paul Knutsen Barstad Sandvik

Paul Knutsen Barstad Sandvik (9 April 1847 – 24 December 1936) was a Norwegian educator and musician.

While living here he also co-edited the periodical Norsk Skoletidende, founded in Hamar by Nils Hertzberg (editor from 1869 to 1873), stepping down in 1918.

Hobbies included horticulture and beekeeping, as well as song and music—he was an organist in Nes church for many years and later a sexton in Hamar.

In Norsk biografisk leksikon he was called "a personality of unusual strength and many-sidedness".

[2] Sandvik held the HM The King's Medal of Merit (Kongens fortjenstmedalje) from 1899.
